Chapter 525 You're Someone Who Enjoys Nightlife

Phoebe hopped back in the car, and there was Theodore, kicked back and looking half-asleep. He cracked an eye open. "Back already?" He'd braced himself for a two-hour wait.

Phoebe saw how beat Theodore looked and said, "You look wiped. How about I drive and you catch some Z's in the back?"

Phoebe caught Theodore's mischievous grin out of the corner of her eye. Her heart started racing. She quickly slapped her cold hand on his neck.

Phoebe was speechless.

Theodore looked up at Phoebe and saw her red, tear-filled eyes. He said gently, "Are you sleepy? Do you want to take a nap in the lounge?" "No." Before she
